I like the cage/ribs imagery, but the rhythm there throws me off.

I also don't really get what you're trying to show me... you're alone... but... I don't feel it. I have a vague sense that you've been to the beach... maybe you saw other people that were alone there, maybe you saw other people that weren't... but I really don't feel anything. Tell us more?

Reminds me of summers at the beach

Not sure I get the meaning, but it's pretty good regardless.
